Opinions on My "New" Truck Project

[Opie Knievel]

Thanks everyone. I brought the truck to an auto body friend of mine today, he's also a certified Ford nut (he has a crazy custom '86 F150, a GT500 and a new MKZ). He said he didn't think it was that bad. He thinks the cab cab be repaired. He said LMC makes most of the stuff, and we can fab anything they don't make. All good news, so I'm happy. The truck will be repaired one way or another!

Cool. Looks like your dream may be possible after all.. I bet you're happy with that news. You don't have that much money invested now so hopefully you don't have to sink too much into it to get it fixed right.

Yes, I'm ecstatic. Like you said, I've got very little invested in it, so even if I had to spend a good bit, I'm probably still fixing to break even on the value when I'm done. Not that I'm even close to considering selling it 🙂

no problem joe, no offense taken.... I tried to save several in my day, I'm just older and can't maneuver like I could back then! I hope you can bring it back to it's former glory, they're not my favorite years, but are some of the better lookin years.

my old one, and what I think is one of their best years with the racetrack trim...

That is my favorite body style Ford truck.
